How to read your Orjar bucket spend

Bucket bars show allocated naira vs what you have spent. Learn what the colours and percentages mean in under two minutes.

Allocated vs spent

Each bucket shows how much you planned (allocated) and how much you logged (spent). Remaining = allocated minus spent.

The percentage under the bar

That is % of the bucket used, not % of salary. At 80% with two weeks left, slow discretionary spending.

When a bucket goes red

You have exceeded the allocation or are on pace to. Check recent expenses — miscategorised spending is a common cause.

Monthly overrides

If you rebalanced income for one month only, bucket targets may differ from your default settings. The Buckets page is the source of truth for that month.
